Bangkok: Captain Harmanpreet Kaur led from the front with an all-round show as India outplayed arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets to remain the sole unbeaten team in the Women's Asia Cup T20 tournament yesterday.

Kaur bagged two crucial wickets helping India restrict Pakistan to 97 for seven in 20 overs before taking her team over the line with an unbeaten 26 off 22 balls. She was batting alongside Anuja Patil (2 not out) when India overcame the modest target with four balls to spare.

Mithali Raj's 36 off 57 balls at the top of the order were also of high value and so were the three wickets from Ekta Bisht. The win was also India's third in as many games.
